    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. I beg to second the Motion: THAT, this House adopts the third Report of the Decentralised Funds Accounts Committee on its consideration of the Reports of the Auditor- General on the Financial Statements for the National Government Constituencies Development Fund (NG-CDF) for nine constituencies in Bungoma County. Hon. Temporary Speaker, since the establishment of this Fund through the enactment of the Constituencies Development Fund (CDF) Act in 2003, we can all attest that it has significantly impacted people's lives in the constituencies through infrastructure development, funding of education and other projects. The NG-CDF Act, 2015 has since undergone further amendments to align it with the Constitution. The delay in disbursement of funds from the Exchequer continues to affect project implementation, leading to audit queries in all the constituencies examined. This matter can only be addressed through timely and adequate disbursement of funds to the NG-CDF Board by the National Treasury for immediate release to the constituencies. This will ensure that planned projects are implemented promptly for the benefit of the people."
